Thank goodness for fast delivery! Our JiaYu S2 review phone has just arrived and we have wasted no time getting it in front of the camera for an unboxing and hands on!
The JiaYu S2 has been in development by JiaYu since last summer. The device takes all of JiaYu’s knowledge of producing high-quality Mediatek phones and slim’s it all down to a narrow, thin, and extremely comforatble form. The S2 also benefits from the lessons JiaYu learned with the metal body of the G5 and boasts its own stainless steel construnction.
JiaYu S2 Hands On Photo Gallery
Our version of the JiaYu S2 is a pre-production sample, and as yet I am not sure if it is the 1GB or 2GB RAM model. What we do know is that the screen is a 5-inch 1920 x 1080 OGS unit, with wonderful viewing angles, the rear camera is a 13 mega-pixel shooter form Panasonic and Sony provide the front facing 8 mega-pixel lens.
Gizchina News of the week
As you will see in the hands on video below the 6mm body is made of both stainless steel and white plasitc. There is room for dual micro SIM’s and JiaYu have even made a stainless steel head phone jack plug with built in SIM removal tool! Nice touch!

JiaYu S2 First Impressions
First impressions are very very good. This is one very well made and thoughtfully put together smartphone, and a phone I will happily use as my daily drive until my Meizu returns (possibly even when I get the MX3 back!). The 6mm body is comfortable in the hand, but what is most impressive is the narrow width of the phone overall. With a 5-inch display the JiaYu S2 is only a few milimeters wider than my 4.3-inch Xiaomi Mi2!
I have already set the phone up with all my usual apps and testing is underway! Keep postesd for more JiaYu S2 updates, videos and news over the coming days!

you look ugly man !!! not the phone >:( This is the most thinner and the most small 5″ FHD phone on the market right now !!! Actually it is still not on the market yet, but will be soon !!!
you dont even know me lol
I dont care for thin, i care for battery and GPS.
Check this picture and tell me how big battery you could put inside the longest rectangle but keep in mind that you are trying to put this battery inside 6.36mm body so don’t forget that you need to put also another hood on top of the body that you are currently seeing on the picture !? SO … 2000mAh is the minimum that you can put there, but I suppose that it could be up to 2300mAh or even bigger up to 2500mAh but 2500 is too much
Dude, i now have the G3S, and i have a crazy battery life, you think i care about going back to 2000 and 2200mah?
You want the battery to last one month or what? After one day and 10 hours, your battery is still at 61%. What else do you want?
Chill bro. He might be a traveler who can only charge his phone every day or two. Or he might be heavy on 3G. It’s absolutely up to him if he wants a phone with a huge battery.
When you leave home at 7 in the morning and come back at night some times, you really wanna good battery life to make sure its gonna last.
And i live in Greece, night here comes late :p
Listen dude, I live at Bugaria Sofia, so we have the same Time SO your problem is that you are using very stupid ROM instead of this I use MIUI V5 4.3.7 Special 4PDA Edition.. so try this and you will be blown away from the battery life and the other features DUDE 😀
yes, if you install MIUI, the battery will magically transform to 4000mah.
I already tried 4pda roms. Nothing special, i dont like miui.
Stock is just fine.
The Miui is far better Rom you should try it! I have the G4A. The phones running smother and better.
Same here, when I see my wife charging everyday it makes me feel strange; I wouldn’t be back to those times. I suppose I’d go everywhere with a massive power bank, but now I just don’t need it (my phone weighs around 200g, that’s true).
@my name is…- I think the UMi X3 would suit you well.
Dude I have the G4T Basic with 1850mAh battery and have 1.5 days battery life and I’m definitelly using the phone in a brutal way 😀 so do you think I care that the battery will be only 2000 or 2500 mAh … the point here is that you are seening the best looking phone that have ever been made in the last 3-4 years of the evolution of the Chinesse phone Makers, because this is JIAYU and not a brand which is COPY/PASTE, yes it looks like iPhone 5 but is bigger, thinner and so on …
What you mean heavy use? 30 minutes screen time?
I also have the G4 1850mah in the family and battery is just gone until the night comes with *real* heavy usage
That don’t impress me much… 😛
If i leave it on my desk, it will last all week.
That 3% means 7h 27m 56s, “light usage” for my phone (can reach >12h in 2+ days).
What about battery life? So far most of phones with 6592 have unimpressive to say the least battery life
Really? My friend’s ZP998 seems to hold up pretty well, even better than my W11.
